Author: Ivan J. Jureta. Thesis committee: Stephane Faulkner, Pierre-Yves Schobbens, John Mylopoulos, Esteban Zimanyi, Manuel Kolp. Publication: University of Namur. Summary. Efficient organization requires rigorous and systematic information management, which encompasses information processing and decision making. Within the efforts in management science and informatics invested towards advancing the knowledge on, ... http://jureta.net/blog/essays-in-information-management-contributions-to-the-modeling-and-analysis-of-quality-in-information-systems-engineering/ Engineering Pluripotent Information Systems Download: RCIS08. Authors: Ivan J. Jureta, Stephane Faulkner, Jean Vanderdonckt. Publication: Proceedings of the Second IEEE International Conference on Research Challenges in Information Science, RCIS 2008, Marrakech, Morocco. Abstract. A pluripotent information system is an open and distributed information system that (i) automatically adapts at runtime to changing operating conditions, and (ii) satisfies ... http://jureta.net/blog/engineering-pluripotent-information-systems/ Towards More Realistic Assumptions about Organizations in Goal-Oriented Requirements Engineering Frameworks Download: RCIS08. Authors: Ivan J. Jureta, Stephane Faulkner. Publication: Proceedings of the Second IEEE International Conference on Research Challenges in Information Science, RCIS 2008, Marrakech, Morocco. Abstract. Requirements engineers analyze information system (IS) requirements with a number of explicit and implicit assumptions about human organizations. Such assumptions influence the construction and use of ... http://jureta.net/blog/towards-more-realistic-assumptions-about-organizations-in-goal-oriented-requirements-engineering-frameworks/ Clear Justification of Modelling Decision for Goal-Oriented Requirements Engineering Download: REJ08 (final draft version). Publisher's version. Authors: Ivan J. Jureta, Stephane Faulkner, Pierre-Yves Schobbens. Publication: Accepted for publication in the Requirements Engineering Journal. Abstract. Representation and reasoning about goals of an information system unavoidably involve the transformation of unclear stakeholder requirements into an instance of a goal model. If the requirements engineer ... http://jureta.net/blog/clear-justification-of-modelling-decision-for-goal-oriented-requirements-engineering/ Dynamic Requirements Specification for Adaptable and Open Service Systems Download: RE07. Authors: Ivan J. Jureta, Stephane Faulkner, Philippe Thiran. Publication: 15th IEEE International Conference on Requirements Engineering (RE 2007), New Delhi, India. Abstract: The Dynamic Requirements Adaptation Method (DRAM) is suggested to assist existing RE methodologies in updating requirements specifications at runtime for adaptable and open service-oriented systems. Updates are needed because ... http://jureta.net/blog/dynamic-requirements-specification-for-adaptable-and-open-service-systems/ Clarifying Goal Models Download: ER07 (short version) or ER07ext (long version).

Publication: Proceedings of the International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (AAMAS 2007), Honolulu, Hawai'i. Abstract. A MAS architecture consisting of service centers is proposed. Within each service center, a mediator coordinates service delivery by ... http://jureta.net/blog/dynamic-task-allocation-within-an-open-service-oriented-mas-architecture/ Tracing the Rationale Behind UML Model Change Through Argumentation Download: ER07. Citation (bibtex). Publisher's version. Authors: Ivan J. Jureta, Stephane Faulkner. Publication: Proceedings of Conceptual Modeling - ER 2007, 26th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling, Auckland, New Zealand. Abstract. Neglecting traceability - i.e., the ability to describe and follow the life of a requirement - is known to entail misunderstanding and miscommunication, ... http://jureta.net/blog/tracing-the-rationale-behind-uml-model-change-through-argumentation/ An Ontology for Requirements Download: Citation (bibtex).
